Our driver Marcel was really friendly and informative, he gave us guides to use during our visit to both camps and lots of information whilst driving. He also played a video of the history of the camps on our way there, which was a great idea to prepare for the visit. 10/10 for Marcel!!

Very good day trip with plenty of time and Marcel was very informative, taking us to locations slightly further afield which we would not have known were there
